A taxi (private hire) driver from Luton has been fined and ordered to pay substantial costs following a successful prosecution by the Central Bedfordshire Council for overcharging a passenger.
Central Bedfordshire Council, local partners and residents came together on Tuesday 7 October for a dedicated Environmental Action Day in Houghton Regis.
A man who gave a false address in Central Bedfordshire to apply for a private hire operator's licence has had to pay costs of over £2,000 after our successful prosecution.
Councillor Adam Zerny, Leader of the Council welcomed Emma Hardy, Minister for Water and Flooding to Leighton Buzzard today, Thursday 26 September 2024.
More drivers could switch to electric vehicles thanks to our successful bid for £1.4 million of government funding to spend improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the area.
Residents in Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade can now access 5 electric vehicles and 1 hybrid vehicle from as little as £4 per hour or £35 per day.
Drivers of electric vehicles who park on the street outside their homes are trialling a new charging system that provides a safe way to charge their vehicles.
